the coaxial cable from outside is connected to in (box), coaxial cable from out to digital in (RX) digital out to TV... (try scrolling through source to cable/ or component if this is HD) (all other devices can be connect to RX also like dvd using Red Yellow White cable or S-video w/red & white)

Depending on what type of connections your cable box has available you can do the following:

1) If yo only have the standard VIDEO & L R AUDIO connections you can use the DTV connection on the back of the V2500. If your cable box also has an S-VHS connection this would be the same connection to use.

2) If you have COMPONENT VIDEO connections on your cable box then you would still use the DTV connection. Looking at the back of your V2500 the regular DTV RCA connections are just to the left of center. Farther over to the left are the COMPONENT VIDEO connections. They are labeled Y, Pb, and Pr. These allow for the higher needs of HD TV transmissions. If your cable box has these connections then making use of them would allow for the best quality for your picture.

This isn't something we can help you with. Keep a fire extinguisher handy if you want to keep messing around with it. It needs hands- and eyes-on by a pro.

This Yamaha model has a "Thermal Protection Integrated Circuit", You can check the online manual at www.yamaha-uk/pdf/owner_manuals/rx-v2500.pdf

I too am experiencing this problem.... and my receiver is only 5 months old. Its a RX-V661

go into your amp settings menu then to speaker settings,set zone 2 on and main on, turn up the volume for zone 2 about half way then connect phono cables from zone 2 pre out to a input on the external amp (eg cd input )
never use the phono input this is for turntables,connect this amp to your speaker switch/selector then to speakers.

hope this helps

check the audio circuit the set might have some lose solder.if that does not work replace the audio output.and related circuit that will remedy your problem,good luck.

I expect there is either a power supply issue or one of the amplifiers has failed causing over current to turn it off as a protection to the power supply.
